FAQ

Passport photo questions, Wausau edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Wausau?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo at home anywhere in Wausau using your smartphone. Services like Perfect Passport will check your photo against State Department rules, offering a convenient alternative to visiting a local pharmacy or post office.

What size and format does a U.S. passport photo need to be?

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches in size and printed on matte or glossy photo paper. Whether you print it at a Wausau pharmacy or have it shipped to your door, the image must be in color with a plain white or off-white background.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons, so be sure to take off your winter beanie or Wausau Woodchucks cap before snapping your picture.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. No other people can be in the photo, so laying your baby on a plain white sheet at your Wausau home is often easier than posing them at a retail location.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport, even if your appearance hasn't changed much. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months, so you cannot reuse the photo from your old Wisconsin driver's license or previous passport.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Currently, routine passport processing takes 4 to 6 weeks. If you choose expedited service, processing takes 2 to 3 weeks, not including the time it takes to mail your application from Wisconsin to the processing center.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Wausau?

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Wausau is the Minneapolis Passport Agency, located about 185 miles west. It is available by appointment only for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency.
